Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Prices.
Energy Prices
The Secretary of State correctly points out that all projections on future energy prices show an upward trend. There is a debate about how much of that is down to renewables. One interesting difference between the UK and European market and the United States market is that there has been a decoupling of the gas price from the oil price in the north American market because of the intense use of shale gas that has been developed. What will the right hon. Gentleman do to develop shale gas in Lancashire and elsewhere in this country to change the projections so that the price of gas goes down?
